Game of Light

It's the game of light! Step right up and line up your reflectors and refractors and get the light to the appropriate color receivers. Open up gates to help get to some of the receivers and be prepared for the level that goes invisible. Make sure you track the light you are sending to the receivers too. So much to manage with so little time!
